You may need the WiFi password that you are using on your mobile at any time and you most likely do not know it by heart, and you do not have it written down anywhere for security. It may be enough for you to access it from the router, if you have not changed it to a personalized one, but it is also possible that you do not have this option or that it is more convenient for you to check it on your mobile.
Xiaomi has an option through which you can easily see the WiFi password to have it on hand whenever you want, without having to complicate the search. But not only this, you can also have information about the passwords that you have saved in your Chrome browser, in case you need them to use them on another device, you don’t remember them or any other reason, so we will tell you how to access all this information easily from your cellphone.
